Fairhaven’s Homecoming Weekend kicks off on Friday evening, June 25, 2010 from 5:00 - 6:30 PM at Fairhaven High School with the 5th annual “Evening of Taste”. First started in 2006 as an event to honor the 100th birthday of F.H.S., the event received such rave reviews, that the Fairhaven High School’s Alumni Board of Directors decided to make it an annual event on the Friday evening of Homecoming Weekend. Over twenty local businesses and restaurants serve up samples of some of their specialty food items as alumni and friends of FHS roam the corridors and classrooms and share memories of their days at the high school. The evening usually attracts 700 - 800 people, so try to get there early if you can. There is no admission charge, but donations are appreciated at the door to help defray the costs of paper goods, soft drinks, custodians, etc.

The Class of 1961 has once again generously taken care of the landscaping of the Memorial Brick Park located behind the high school on Larch Avenue. Class of 1961 classmates who have been instrumental in this project are: Betsy LeBeau, Linda & Cuffy Tunstall, Bill & Carole Hall, Robert Mitchell, Joan Dellecese, Edna & Randy Ayotte, Carolyn & Walter Beaulieu, and Betty Jane & Bob Clark. For those of you who have not visited the Memorial Brick Park, it has a variety of options (from bricks to benches) that can be purchased in honor of alumni and friends of FHS, and all of the monies raised go towards annual scholarships that are awarded at the FHS graduation in June.
Pictured above are some of the members of the Class of 1976 at their booth at last year’s Fair.
